      @Engineer Thanks for the very thorough response here.

      I am between 12 and 12.5 (so I guess 12.25) on brannock size. I am thinking based on this, 11Ds with possible insoles would be a good fit.

      Its hard with pull ons though, cause at least with lace ups you can tighten the fit by lacing up..obviously not the case with pull ons 🙂

      You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

        @Dstauffer You're very welcome!  If you're a 12-12.5 brannock, I'd think you'd take a 12 or 12.5 in these.  Maybe see if @Chris at Wesco can help??  Personally, I know that anything shorter than a 9.5 in my Jobmasters would be too short.

            Stopped into Division Road today to see their veg tanned Packers in the flesh. They are so stinkin nice. I'm not too big in the natural veg just because it borders on Tang in my book ( 😛 ), but I can definitely see the appeal.

            What I particularly like about this build is the softer profile of the 9109 last achieved by no toe reinforcement. Due to the insane thickness of this leather, you would hardly notice it were a "soft toe" boot. I am eagerly considering this build. This seems to be a great option for guys like me that can't take the tight toe box of the MP, but want a relatively sleek look.

              Great boot @Bretro_ So glad to have added them to my arsenal.
              What an asset Division Road is to have near by–great style and astonishing depth of product knowledge... I need to make it in there to check out their new Corridor shirt colabs 🙂

                That is a sharp boot. Interesting to see an unstructured toe box on the 9109 last.

                    I'm curious how similar they'd be to my work boots (pics above) which also was built on the 9109. I'm fond of the bump toe, but would be nice to have similar fit with a different profile

                          @Bretro_ Division Road does some sick footwear collaborations and the owners have always been extremely friendly and helpful.

                          I am currently holding out for their fall 310 Viberg release, but when I saw they were going to be releasing those Wescos, it was really, really hard not to buy a pair.

                          @Dishelveled They look awesome man!

                            I'm going to try to make it down for Div Rds x Wesco event on April 1, to boot geek out with the best of 'em 🙂
                            Interested in their upcoming ladies boots for my Girl's present and maybe something nice for me too, lol

                            Also iirc Div Rd and Viberg have a chucka boot colab in the works!

                            Cheers…

                              @Dishelveled have a blast man! I hope you find something for your lady. I got my wife into some RWs and she LOVES them, I can only imagine with would be the same with Wescos.

                              Please post some pics here if you remember.

                                Looking good! How'd you size on em? I quickly tried on some 9.5s (like, put one boot on one foot sitting down style), which is my Whites/RW/Truebalance size, and they felt pretty good, but I really didn't give them a test drive beyond that. Any sizing recommendations?

                                  @Bretro_  I went size 8 in these and the Packhorses–could have gone 8.5, but I prefer 'em snug.
                                  I have more room in my size 8 Vibergs and Tricker's for comparison--I could NOT have sized up to an 8.5 in those.

                                  Also, these PackRIDERS are thick  veg-tan leather and thus put more lateral pressure on the sides of my feet, where the leather is double layered ( I assume that'll ease when broken in–still brand spanken new) but much more noticable than the Domain rough outs.

                                  Hope that helps you triangulate...

                                      What toe is on your model? Looks beefier than the MP and even unconstructed boss toe I normally see.

                                        If I'm not mistaken, that is what the Italians call a Toe de la Bump.

                                            They get like that when worn in I think. Any time a see a pair like this, I say to myself, "next time, bump toe". Then I stay MP anyway [emoji28]
